ZipRider® INSTALLATION 

Built for the Impossible: The World’s Longest, Steepest, and Most Ambitious Zip Lines

In a world full of standard zip lines, ZipRider® stands apart. We don’t build ordinary rides—we create massive, custom anchor attractions that transform resorts into must-visit destinations. Our ZipRider® and ZipTour® systems are engineered to deliver unforgettable thrills, draw thousands of new visitors, and generate substantial revenue year-round, turning summer and shoulder seasons into peak seasons.

From the start, we’ve focused on ambitious scale and breathtaking impact. We’ve built the planet’s longest single-span zip line—the 8,350-foot Copper Canyon ZipRider® in Mexico, soaring 1,200 feet above the ground—and other record-breakers like the original world’s longest at Icy Strait Point, Alaska. With 35 installations worldwide (including 53 individual spans), we’ve delivered epic experiences in the U.S., Mexico, Switzerland, Russia, South Korea, Japan, Brazil, and more.

Remarkable terrain is an untapped asset. Not every guest can summit the peaks, ski the steepest runs, or tackle expert bike trails—but nearly anyone can experience the thrill of flying above it all. A ZipRider® or ZipTour® lets guests launch from the summit, taking in panoramic views while soaring over inaccessible terrain, delivering a high‑adrenaline experience that’s accessible to families, groups, and non‑athletes alike. The result: a must‑visit attraction that expands your market, boosts attendance, increases ancillary spend, and positions your resort as the premier adventure destination in the region.

Our Collaborative Process

Our initial conversation starts with you: We ask for topographical mapping and your basic concept—what you’re considering in terms of alignments and ride layouts. We’ll analyze your ideas thoroughly and show you whether the ride will work in the location you’ve chosen. Then, we propose our own optimized layouts and alignments, selecting the ZipRider® or ZipTour® system best suited to your site—often unlocking longer, steeper, and more dramatic options than you initially thought possible.

Full-Service Expertise for Seamless, Turnkey Installations

Through Terra-Nova LLC (master distributor for ZipRider® and ZipTour®), we handle every detail: custom design, engineering, and fabrication tailored to your site’s topography and vision. Our sister company, ESCT Construction LLC, delivers complete turnkey installation: surveying, geotechnical soils analysis, excavation, concrete forming and placement, cable pulling (we’ve pulled 15+ miles in a single year), and deck construction. We own our specialized cable-pulling equipment and are fully equipped to tackle any zip line cable-pulling project—no matter the scale or challenge.

Every project includes comprehensive staff training, custom rescue kits with hands-on rescue instruction, and annual inspections to ensure ongoing safety and performance. We also provide rescue and evacuation solutions for trams, gondolas, and chairlifts.
